(theatlantic.com) 401 -- 401 Posted by EditorDavid on Monday March 16, 2020 @03:34AM from the on-the-homefront dept. This week saw dramatic responses to the coronavirus pandemic. At least two different U.S. states have ordered all bars and restaurants to close , according to the AP, while "officials elsewhere in the country said they were considering similar restrictions." America's Center for Disease Control is now urging the entire country to " cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more." At least two more states have postponed their presidential primary elections -- and lots of people now seem to be avoiding movie theatres . Meanwhile, earlier this week GitLab released its first " Remote Work Report ," arguing that "it's undeniable that the future of work will be remote." But what are you doing? Are you working remotely? (And is the rest of your company?) Are you buying groceries during off-peak hours? Staying home to watch Frozen 2 ? We're all in this together -- so let's hear about the experiences of Slashdot readers. Share your own stories in the comments.

Malware distributors "have started disseminating real-time, accurate information about global infection rates tied to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic in a bid to infect computers with malicious software ," reports security researcher Brian Krebs: In one scheme, an interactive dashboard of Coronavirus infections and deaths produced by Johns Hopkins University is being used in malicious Web sites (and possibly spam emails) to spread password-stealing malware. Late last month, a member of several Russian language cybercrime forums began selling a digital Coronavirus infection kit that uses the Hopkins interactive map as part of a Java-based malware deployment scheme. The kit costs $200 if the buyer already has a Java code signing certificate, and $700 if the buyer wishes to just use the seller's certificate. "It loads [a] fully working online map of Corona Virus infected areas and other data," the seller explains. "Map is resizable, interactive, and has real time data from World Health Organization and other sources. Users will think that PreLoader is actually a map, so they will open it and will spread it to their friends and it goes viral...!" The sales thread claims the customer's payload can be bundled with the Java-based map into a filename that most Webmail providers allow in sent messages... The seller says the user/victim has to have Java installed for the map and exploit to work, but that it will work even on fully patched versions of Java... It's unclear how many takers this seller has had, but earlier this week security experts began warning of new malicious Web sites being stood up that used interactive versions of the same map to distract visitors while the sites tried to foist the password-stealing AZORult malware. crime security blackhat 127343784 story Data of Millions of eBay and Amazon Shoppers Exposed (sophos.com) 39 -- 39 Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday March 15, 2020 @01:34PM from the peeking-through-the-clouds dept. An anonymous reader quotes the "Naked Security" blog of anti-virus company Sophos: Researchers have discovered another big database containing millions of European customer records left unsecured on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for anyone to find using a search engine. A total of eight million records were involved, collected via marketplace and payment system APIs belonging to companies including Amazon, eBay, Shopify, PayPal, and Stripe. Discovered by Comparitech's noted breach hunter Bob Diachenko, the AWS instance containing the MongoDB database became visible on 3 February, where it remained indexable by search engines for five days. Data in the records included names, shipping addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, items purchased, payments, order IDs, links to Stripe and Shopify invoices, and partially redacted credit cards... A total of eight million records were involved, collected via marketplace and payment system APIs belonging to companies including Amazon, eBay, Shopify, PayPal, and Stripe. The article calls it "simply the latest example of how easy it is to leave sensitive data sitting in an unsecured state on cloud storage platforms." They cite two more high-profile databases that Comparitech found exposed on Elasticsearch just in 2020: A database containing 309 million Facebook user IDs, phone numbers and names A total of 250 million Microsoft customer support records dating back to 2005 business cloud eu 127329522 story IBM and AT&T Tell Employees To Work From Home (kimt.com) 49 -- 49 Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday March 15, 2020 @08:34AM from the time-to-telecommute dept. Slashdot reader Willy English quotes CNBC: AT&T is asking all of its employees who have the ability to work remotely to do so until further notice , as the coronavirus spreads across the globe. The company will be announcing new procedures and safeguards for employees who canâ(TM)t work from home, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said in a note sent to employees Friday. AT&T is one of the largest employers in the United States, and has 245,000 global employees. Meanwhile, a local U.S. news station reports: IBM is encouraging all employees in the United States to work from home through the end of March, if possible. In an email sent to employees and provided to KIMT, the technology company says the recommendation is in response to the global coronavirus pandemic. att ibm it 127324018 story Study Finds High Demand for Go and AR/VR Programmers, While Python Remains Favorite Language (hired.com) 73 -- 73 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 14, 2020 @09:34PM from the demand-and-supply dept. The tech jobs marketplace at Hired.com crunched their data on more than 400,000 interview requests and job offers over the last year to produce their annual "State of Software Engineers" report. Among its surprising insights: software engineers with more than 10 years of experience get 20% fewere interview requests than engineers with 4 to 10 years of experience. Other insights: Demand for AR/VR talent is up by 1400%, mirroring blockchain's 517% demand growth last year... In large U.S. tech hubs AR/VR engineer salaries range from $135k - $150k... 46% of software engineers rank AR/VR as one of the top 3 technologies they'd like to learn in 2020... If you work in AR/VR, you may want to move to San Francisco, where they pay $150k/year on average. The next-highest growth in demand came for "gaming engineers" and "computer vision engineers" -- with both positions seeing a 146% increase in demand over 2018. The next-highest demand growth was for "search engineers" (increasing 137%) and for "machine learning engineers" (increasing 89%). Demand for "blockchain engineers" increased by just 9%. But they also report that demand for fron...
